Dara Fisher, Secretary [fisherdr
[at] mit [dot] edu]. Dara
is a second-year SM Candidate
in the Technology and Policy Program in the Engineering Systems
Division. Her research is sponsored through the MIT-Singapore
University of Technology and Design (SUTD) collaboration, for which she
aids in development of co-curricular activities and programming
for students at the newly-founded SUTD. Her thesis work is related to
the merits of integrating leadership into engineering curricula in
higher education, and she hopes to continue her studies with a PhD in
engineering education after completing her TPP degree.

Dara
joined GWAMIT in hopes of helping to create connections between the
graduate and undergraduate women communities here at MIT. Dara believes
that graduate women have
the opportunity to serve as incredible role models within the MIT
community, and she hopes to spread the resources of GWAMIT and its
membership into different areas across the Institute. In addition to
her role as GWAMIT secretary, Dara serves as the co-President
of the Technology and Policy Student Society, as a group moderator for
the TPP introductory leadership course, and as a trivia host at the
Thirsty Ear Pub in Ashdown House.
